For the Glory KC is back with the 193rd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City had another eventful week and maybe they'll do a lot more business in the next three days before the transfer window closes.We start off the podcast with the record U22 Initiative signing of Owen Wolff from Austin FC. The 21-year-old midfielder/left winger/forward will hopefully help what ails Sporting KC. As soon as he recovers from his ankle injury. SKC have one remaining U22 spot they can fill and it'll be intriguing to see if they spend big again.Then we found out the details around Dejan Joveljic and Manu Garcia's departures. Why sell Dejan in conference? Why buyout Manu instead of selling him if Aris made an offer? Sheena and I break down the details and then spend a lot of time on the state of the team. We work in some David Lee press conference news of adding two more DPs, hopefully sooner than later.Also, there was the rumor of the 24-year-old Swedish striker, Paulos Abraham and a lot of national attention to Sporting KC's recent player movement and promises of future transactions. It's going to be an interesting close to the transfer window, hopefully.Unfortunately, Sporting KC played two soccer games too. For Sheena's birthday I joined her and watched the Vancouver Whitecaps win 3-0 over SKC. There were lots of missing players for injury (Jake Davis and Zorhan Bassong) and perhaps another injury in game to Capita Capemba. There was a new captain (Lasse Berg Johnsen) and the debut of Sporting KC's newest Designated Player, Andre Luiz. They also played and lost to Atlanta United a week ago, right after our emergency Dejan Joveljic podcast.There was news for Zamir Loyo Reynaga, Andreu Fontas and Jaylin Lindsey also this week!In more positive news, the KC Current won a game! It was their first win in August, just in time for the month to end. They absolutely dominated the North Carolina Courage but only managed a 3-2 win.

For the Glory KC is back with the 192nd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City have had an incredibly busy week. The last six days has seen the departure of fan favorite and Designated Player, Manu Garcia. The arrival of the fourth most expensive player in MLS history in Andre Luiz. A rumored even more expensive transfer of Nico Fernandez Mercau.But Saturday night may be the biggest news yet. Fabrizio Romano and Tom Bogert are reporting that Dejan Joveljic is moving within the conference to the Seattle Sounders! You'd think it'd be a massive transfer fee, but instead it's only $6 million for one of the best goal scorers in Major League Soccer. Yes, it's a 50 percent profit after only 18 months, but it's a stunner.We go through all the reasons this could be happening and try to make sense of the news. Did Dejan want out? Did he not like how the Manu saga went down this week? Sheena did live sleuthing on the podcast and noticed he'd been absent from their social media all week. When David Lee told us midweek that teams are calling about their players, it seems clear Dejan was always the answer, and he may have already been negotiating at that time.Beyond that, is Dejan just not a system fit for Lee and Rapha Wicky? Or perhaps Lee just wants his guys. The typical starting lineup only has two players that were around more than 11 months ago in Jake Davis and Zorhan Bassong. Is the General Allocation Money (GAM) just too much to pass up?We go through all the permutations. And we talk about what comes next. More Designated Players have to be arriving, right? We also went through all the big points from David Lee's press conference and tried to figure out what DPs Lee could sign. I threw out Cucho Hernandez as a former player who did great in MLS and Sheena went a lot more out of left field with USA-loving Erling Haaland. It's nonsense, but it least it was fun nonsense.Speaking of DPs, we talk about new signing Andre Luiz, the rumored transfer for Nico Fernandez and all the other fallout of the week for Sporting KC. It's weird to record a day before a game, but the news just became too much. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast, who knows when we'll have to record again with the transfer window closing in 11 days on September 2nd.We also talked about the game against St. Louis City SC, that SKC dominated but only got a draw out of. Taylor Calheira was one of the stars of the night and I guess is this team's starting striker now? What a wild week!The KC Current also earned a draw, but it felt more disappointing considering the quality of the two teams. Kansas City seemed to have all the advantages on the Seattle Reign but their comeback, like Sporting's, ended with only a tie.In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:SKC IIMLS Playoff Expansion... again?!?!UEFA, Concacaf and InfantinoArgentina punishedHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 2:03KC Current - 1:23:46Digital Crawl - 1:33:07Upcoming GamesSporting KC @ Atlanta United, SUN, August 23rd at 6:00PM CST (Wooden Spoon Battle)SKC II @ Tacoma Defiance, MON, August 24th at 9:00PMKC Current vs. North Carolina Courage, SAT, August 29th at 5:30PMSporting KC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps, SAT, August 29th at 7:30PMSKC II @ Whitecaps 2, SUN, August 30th at 6:00PMAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

After a disappointing 3-1 loss to St. Louis City SC, the Galaxy head into another rivalry match short-handed, short on confidence, and searching for answers. Injuries, suspensions, and inconsistent performances have left Greg Vanney with few options as the playoff race begins to tighten. On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy, Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou break down what went wrong against St. Louis, discuss why the midfield continues to struggle, and debate whether the current roster has enough to stay competitive until reinforcements arrive. The conversation also dives into the signing of Kyogo Furuhashi, what he could bring to the Galaxy attack once his visa is approved, the latest discussion surrounding the Casemiro investigation, and whether the front office has more moves planned before the transfer window closes -- they do. With fan frustration growing and pressure mounting on Vanney, is help coming soon enough to rescue the Galaxy's season?

Following a disappointing 3-0 defeat in El Tráfico, the Galaxy suddenly find themselves facing difficult questions about their roster, their attack, their playoff hopes, and whether time is beginning to run out for Greg Vanney.  On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy, Josh Guesman is joined by LA Times soccer reporter Kevin Baxter to examine what happened at Dignity Health Sports Park—and why the performance may have revealed much deeper issues than a single rivalry loss. Are the Galaxy simply shorthanded after the departure of Gabriel Pec? Or are there structural problems that can't be solved until the transfer window delivers reinforcements? The discussion dives into the lack of attacking depth, the pressure now facing Will Kuntz and the front office, and why every match before the Leagues Cup break could determine whether the Galaxy remain in the playoff race -- or begin planning for 2027.  The show also explores: - Why the Galaxy's offense has stalled since Gabriel Pec's departure - Whether Robert Taylor can provide immediate help - Greg Vanney's tactical options with a depleted roster - The latest transfer speculation and Designated Player outlook - Why Maya Yoshida's return and other injured players may not be enough - How MLS missed a massive opportunity following the 2026 FIFA World Cup - The importance of Wednesday's matchup with St. Louis City SC and why it already feels like a must-win.  Josh and Kevin also tackle one of the biggest questions surrounding the club: If help isn't arriving immediately, how does this team survive the next month? It's an honest conversation about the Galaxy's current reality—what can be fixed, what can't, and whether the organization still has enough time to rescue a season that appears to be slipping away.  If you're wondering whether the Galaxy are still capable of making a playoff push, whether Greg Vanney is coaching for his future, or what moves could reshape this roster before the transfer window closes, this episode has the insight you're looking for.
